"Illegal Tender"

"Illegal Tender" is a disappointing and contrived fake gangland drama. The plot is simple: Wilson DeLeon, Sr. is murdered by Mr. Big. His wife and their newborn child flee the neighborhood. Twenty-one years later, Wilson DeLeon, Jr. is forced to defend and protect his mother from the same assassin.

Mrs. DeLeon, Sr. has invested wisely over the years. Junior never has to work, pay for school and drives a car to die for. The family always lives in very affluent neighborhoods in which they ultimately have their shoot-outs, the police investigate, chalk out one or two dead bodies, and then everyone moves to another affluent neighborhood. Just like real life, right?

Watch the trailer:

The dialogue is lousy, the acting is forced, but the women are beautiful, particularly the older Mrs. DeLeon. My mother never looked like that, nor could she handle a machine pistol with such skill.
